11 Biggest Sins Of Batman v Superman

Gal Gadot's appearance as Wonder Woman was an extremely bright spot in an otherwise dour and lifeless film. She's received near-universal acclaim for her performance as the Amazonian warrior and without a doubt, the fight scene against Doomsday would have been a total bore if not for her presence.

But beyond that, Wonder Woman has no real reason to be in this movie. As far as the plot is concerned, she contributes pretty much nothing to the story. There is the subplot involving Luthor's search for metahumans and him having a picture of Diana from World War I, but this is so poorly explored and executed, it could easily be edited out.

We're given no real introduction to Wonder Woman. In fact, I actually don't think she's ever mentioned by name in the movie. She appears, kicks some butt, and then that's about it. She says she's stayed away from mankind for about a century because of their brutality. So how does she even know that Luthor's got this picture of her? 

If you're going to introduce a character as important to the DC mythos as Wonder Woman, then you should do it properly. Give her an actual storyline in the movie. Not just some half-assed subplot involving Luthor's computer drives.
